"Shawarma"
Andy R.

This is my second visit and am still let down. Average hole in the wall deli. They lost track of my order (chicken shawarma), had to ask again and never got my side order of fries. Food is nothing to write home about; misc grilled chicken chunks with pickle rounds and some spiced sauce wrapped up in a flower tortilla. I would rather wait and eat at the air port.

G street JR'S grill

JR Grills is located on G street right across from the Harborview apartments in a small convienence store by the Embassy Suite Hotel. I got word from a friend that they serve up some pretty good chicken Shawarmas so had to see for myself! As I enter they have plenty of dishes they offer such as all kinds of deli sandwhiches, gyros, and salads. I went ahead and ordered the Shawarma from the cashier up front and paid and was told to give it a few minutes. As I observe the cook he makes it on spot and within minutes later I was given my food. I go ahead and sit outside at one of the many tables provided by the place. The wrap looks amazing and I just wanted to dive in and smash the whole thing after I snapped my pictures. As i dig into it it wasnt what i expected and fell disapointed quickly. The chicken was a tad bit dry and it was basically a knock off version of a Cali burrito with french fries, and pickles. I ended up eating the whole thing but it was just A-OK in my end. Definetley check this place out if your looking for a fusion between Cali burritos and Mediterranean cuisine or maybe even try one of there gyros!

This is a great deli/convenience store. There is a very large outdoor seating area on a peaceful courtyard. They have a big selection of wines, liquor, snacks, candy better than 7-11. They have a great deli. The manager recommended their chicken schwarma plate which was fantastic. It was freshly made, piping hot, very large portion with rice and delicious salad. The cook Waleed made a great plate on demand. The hours are convenient, service friendly and one of the best varieties of items. Highly recommended.

Off the rip, walked by earlier and saw the place because of the Taco Tuesday sign for 2 for $7 Tacos on tuesday. So i went in today knowing it was Thursday. I was a little twisted already but I needed more food and it was Right outside my Hotel in Downtown. My experience was pretty good i ordered really smoothly the staff was friendly to me and welcoming. The gentlement behind the counter was great and speedy with my sandwhich (which i can say was pretty solid! It has a little more of a kick than u would normally expect i got a Chicken Chipotle) and it was an all around good experience. I will go back on tuesday to give them the other star!

Chicken Shawarma Bowl
HoyMay P.

The name of this place has changed to Jr's Grill. This is a small place located in the back of Embassy Suites Hotel at the end of walkway. There is seating outside but most locals do take out. It is a grocery and small grill with a host of fresh foods. We had the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma plates and chicken shawarma bowl. Staff are busy and friendly. The food is prepared when you order so everything is fresh. I tried the creamy spicy hummus. So good! The plates and bowls were large and protein was plentiful with some tomatoes and pickles on the side. Excellent.

Once I was settled into my room and my work was done for the day I needed to head out and grab some…read moresnacks and drinks for my room. 7-Eleven wasn't my intended destination, but I did end up getting more from here than I expected to be able to grab elsewhere. This is possibly one of the nicest 7-Eleven stores I have been to in my life. It was clean, it was organized, and it was stocked. Something that I am not accustomed to. Even though they are well stocked, it doesn't mean the selection is vast. It is somewhat limited to certain brands and of the items they do have you don't get to choose a better one because of that. I feel like that might because of the size of the store as it was not a traditional store set up. That's probably the biggest drawback of this location. The size is limited because it is located on street level of a newer building. Street level is a bit of a stretch as the entrance is on the side street and down a small hill. Customer service was great. The employees working were helpful and swift with the transaction. Able to watch the store and answer customer question while checking my items out.

The many times you would get the best snacks and the best candy bars that would go great with Ice Cream mixture and combine with soft serve Ice Cream. The many memories of the 711s that would be open 24hours and the many times you would have the crowded mornings. Through the many years that the 711 stor5e4s have been the many places that many times you would see the sheriffs and the many other officers that would come and get coffee in the morning the early mornings the great many things you get at 711s. The many great people that you would see in the morning the many shipments and the distributors that would bring in the many products to the morning. The many times that you would see the many companies that would deliver products and the many food products that would be from the Hot Pizzas and the many great deli sandwiches that are the best and the best in Hot Dogs. With the many great 711s the one location that is in the Little Italy area has been that has been the best in cleanliness and the size of the store is small size with the well done in outside design and the stonework that gives a great atmosphere inside and out, the many products that have they have a great welcome to the housing nearby and the offices close by. Many areas in the Little Italy area are that of restaurants and the gourmet foods that you can pick up and take home. The Store location has some of the best products that you can get such as the Slurpee's and the Monster Drinks with many combos you see at the many. The best location for when you have a great 711 store that you can go to at night and get the milk you need, or you may have to get meat products. One of the greatest things that the 711 stores have the best morning doughnuts and the many great coffees when you have those that bring in their own coffee mugs and get the favorite morning coffees. With the great location that is just a short walk from the Trolley Station with the number 83 bus connection which is located close by the store. In closing as a Yelp Elite Reviewer this is one of the best and the closest location when you take a trip up into the Little Italy area with the short walk to India Street with the Historical area there is much to see and have cold drinks when you stop in at the 711 store up from the trolley.

Wow, I need to come here for some last-minute ice and a lot of of it…read moreI've never been here before and I'm not much of a shopper even though I have one in my neighborhood I started to circle the business assuming they'd be a garage or something. A car pulled out away from the curb so I snagged that spot. I entered was looking for a cart asked a couple people and apparently the carts are down in the garage so yes, there's a garage underneath just in case you needed to know and now I know for future. I managed to find a cart. Loaded up with ice went to self check out, which is very simple. They had a handheld device to scan my bag of ice times 15.

It's like entering into a time zone only different is there is no Back Door for me to enter.

Givin dirty looks and just straight out Rudeness if I go to ask a question about a product are any assistants of where I can locate a product and I refuse to come out of character and lower myself to their level. I try to avoid this store as much as possible. Which means I have to go out my way on public transportation i mean, seriously, this is not the backwoods of alabama and one of those other seriously racist states.This is supposed to be beautiful San Diego California it doesn't make sense how people can be so evil and nasty towards a person They've never encountered before, and I'm pretty sure when they were hired, they didn't inform H. R that they were going to treat certain customers in a nasty and vile way And it's awful how management condones this behavior Because the employees are very comfortable in their actions It is not okay to make someone feel uncomfortable or unaccepted. In an establishment that you don't own it's also ashame that the machine where I put in my phone number and pin Number tells me thank you for being a value customer across the screen i've never heard that from an employee since my shopping experience at the store. my whole career was in customer service and it would bothered me if I knew that I didn't put my all into making a customer feel satisfied. Or at least appreciated.love thy neighbor is a commandment not a suggestion Do better Ralph's replacing people with robots is starting to sound like a good idea.

I live in Little Italy and am so happy that we've transferred our Rx's over to this pharmacy from…read moreCVS. The pharmacist is always kind, helpful and happy, as are anyone else at the counters. Way better than than previous pharmacies we've used. This store gets a bad rap because of all the homeless looting the store - emptying its shelves. It's a daily battle, they've tried security at the doors, but for whatever reason they don't have it anymore. They should permanently close off the door on Kettner and create a booze only counter with the liquor behind it, not accessible to the customer unless they are buying it at the booze counter.

It appeared that the wide variety of selection was set for libations rather than other items in the store. For the footprint of the store it seems that there just wasn't enough room in house to accommodate that. Like I said, because the libations took up a solid two aisles. That meant that the rest of the aisles were left to have items fight for counter space. Unfortunately on both of my visits here I did not find what I needed and had to venture elsewhere to get those items. Customer service wasn't too bad here, they were attentive to the needs of those in the store, but at some points they appeared to be bothered to help you at first. It is what it is. I view this more as a community convenience store than a Rite Aid. I suppose if you live in the neighborhood it is better than trekking to wherever to get a quick item.

I usually come here for a quick, fast , and affordable car wash, and it is convienently located near me. The gas area is tight and limited, but eventually, you can squeeze in even on a busy day. They have quite a few gas pumps and some store parking up front for the personnel, not needing gas. Inside the store is spacious and clean and they sell many drink varietys and snacks. They offer alcohol beverages and tobacco products as well. As for the car wash, it is built in the same space as the gas station. You can easily pay for your car wash while pumping gas, or you can just pull up to the car wash area and pay with a debit/credit card. There are 4 options for the car wash ranging from basic to deluxe, and this time, I went with the standard basic option. The car wash uses high-pressure water soap and also has scrubbers to get your car looking beautiful. The dryer has vents blowing from the left side and right side with a 60-second timer. At this time, you are allowed to change from park to drive and slowly go through drying off all excess water. Overall, it is a great gas station to go to and pick up some snacks and gas for the road and, of course, a car wash to get your fresh ride looking squeaky clean. There is a vacuum and air for your tires in the station for an additional cost. The customer service is always good, and the service is fast as to where you're in and out to continue your day.
